In addition to being appetizing to all of us, it is really quick to put together and get into the oven. Crispy, delicious Chicken Cordon Bleu Bake - Mock Chicken Cordon Bleu! Chicken Cordon Bleu Bake Recipe For this chicken cordon bleu casserole you will need chicken breasts (boneless, skinless), ham slices, shredded Swiss cheese, Ritz crackers, butter, grated Parmesan cheese, butter, and salt & pepper for seasoning. Once the chicken is baking, you will need butter, flour, milk, chicken broth, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard for the sauce that is added as a topping when the dish is served. To Make Your Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole To begin, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and grease or spray a non-stick coating on your baking dish, either a 9 x x13 baking pan or 1.5 qt casserole dish will work. The bottom layer will be the chicken breast strips, mine fit perfectly, filling the entire bottom of my casserole dish. Add the ham slices layered over the chicken, and then a layer of the shredded Swiss cheese. For the cracker topping, crush crackers in packaging and then place into a medium size mixing bowl. Add Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper, and combine all of them together. Melt half of the butter (3 Tbsp) and pour into the bowl, then stir the cracker mixture to coat all of the ingredients. Place on top of the shredded cheese in your casserole dish then bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. The cracker crust topping should be a nice golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken should be 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) which is the safe eating temperature for both white and dark meat. To Make The Chicken Cordon Bleu Sauce While your chicken cordon bleu bake is in the oven, prep your ingredients for making your sauce. You will need about 10 minutes for the sauce and it is best served immediately once the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Place a saucepan on medium heat, add the remaining butter portion (3 Tbsp) and melt slowly while the saucepan comes to a medium temperature. Once the butter is melted, whisk in the flour and cook for about a minute then slowly stir in the chicken broth and milk (optional, I added a pinch of salt & pepper at this point). The sauce will thicken once it comes back up to a medium temperature (about 5 minutes - and it may thicken quickly) so be sure to keep whisking during the cooking process so you don’t burn the butter flour mix (aka roux). Once the sauce has thickened to a gravy-like consistency, turn off the heat and stir in the Dijon mustard and the Worcestershire sauce. Now, spoon your sauce over the chicken cordon bleu casserole and serve. Enjoy!
